Need help with 22Kt US Postal Service Gold Stamps.......
That's exactly what I have. My book has 47 of the stamps inside. I saw that exact same link when I started searching for info. Surely if it was real gold it would have more scrap value than $50.00? Maybe not, what do you think? Thanks, Jerry -
Need help with 22Kt US Postal Service Gold Stamps.......
Anybody here in to stamp collecting or maybe collecting gold stamp replicas? I have a bound book that contains 47 replica stamps, issued by the US Postal Service, back in the early to mid 70's. I was bought these collectables as a kid, and have just now remembered they were stashed away. The... -
Scanners and such
I bought a really nice Whistler portable unit a year or so ago. It was a "digital trunking" model, and you could input your zip code and let it do the rest. You could also input other areas and listen to them as well. I had it programmed for Coweta, Carroll, Heard, and Troup counties. I... -
I Want To Fly My Drone
Just to give you an idea about the camera quality, here is a video I uploaded for you to look at. I was working on a "Point of Interest" setting, where the drone does all the flying/work for you. It let's make really smooth videos. I took this one of my house and surrounding area. This was... -
I Want To Fly My Drone
I'm thinking that is an excellent choice. Had I not just bought my Mavic Pro Platinum last year, and have invested a fair amount of money into extra batteries, filters, lights, etc., I would be buying that model. I have seen the pictures from both of those models. Although they are... -
I Want To Fly My Drone
I have been flying for many years, and have had several. The last model I bought is a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. It is the best flying and easiest to control I have ever had. You can read about it here and see a few videos I have made... -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
We spent the weekend at the lake, trying to stay away from people. I made a short video of part of our day. This was the first time I tried my hand at launching and landing from a boat. It was quite an adventure. Trying to land in mild winds and catch it in my hand on a rocking boat was... -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
I stared at the lake for 2 days before I finally worked up the courage to fly out and over that much water!! After I was up there, it was no big deal. I sort of forgot all about the water. I really had some nerves though when I brought it down very low to take a few pictures of our campsite... -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
My model does not have a zoom, but they did come out this year with a model that has both an optical and a digital zoom. They are lots of money though....... -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
Here is a second video I made with my Mavic Pro Platinum. This video is straight out of the drone. No production, editing, or sound track. I realize it is toooo long and has a few rough spots, but it shows the quality and capabilities of the DJI Mavic Pro. At one point I was flying just a... -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
Let me know how it goes. I'm anxious to see what you think. Good flying.... Jerry -
I bought a new DJI drone...Video attached
I've been flying a couple of Yuneec drones for a few years now, and finally decided to step to a more "semi-professional" model. Earlier in the week I bought a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. This is not a full blown, professional, video producing drone, but it is a large step up from the models I... -
Educate me on drones.....
Here is the latest video I made using my Yuneec Quad. It's less than a minute long. I took it up to 400' and took a quick look around the landscape that surounds our property. Enjoy...... -
Educate me on drones.....
Here are a couple of new videos. I finally had the nerve to fly it up over my house, above the woods where I could not actually see the drone. I had to rely on my screen and just hope I was following my instruments correct!! I need to learn how to trim my videos down. There is a lot of... -
Educate me on drones.....
Here are a couple of my first videos made with the Q500 4K This one is taking off from my pasture and shows the are around my house. Mu house is buried in the middle of the woods. Pretty soon I'll work up the courage to fly over the woods and shoot down into the house clearing. This one is... -
Educate me on drones.....
This is good advice!!!! This model has a "smart mode", which keeps it about 30' from you, no matter which direction you walk, so that you can not walk up to it and grab it. My first flight, (which should not have been started in my driveway, right next to the barn), started moving way faster... -
Educate me on drones.....
I ended up getting a Yuneec Q500 4K this past weekend. I reeally could have saved a few dollars buy buying the Mavic with an employee discount, but I wanted a model that came with an "all-in-one" controller. The Yuneec has everything I was looking for, along with a 4K camera. Right out of the... -
Educate me on drones.....
I did not know this. I imagine this is also part of the feature set that allows it to return and know its home base? Thanks, Jerry -
Educate me on drones.....
Another question.... Are the models with built in screens any better than those that require a cell phone to watch? It seems to me that a built is screen would be better. I have old phones I could use for a monitor only, but that means keeping another device charged up and ready. Thoughts... -
Educate me on drones.....
I have been thinking about getting a drone for over a year now. I just realized I can pick up a new Mavic Pro from my daughters business for $649.00 and free shipping. Is a Mavic Pro too much to start out with, or would I be better off buying or trading into a less expensive model? There...
